Botsu's Infatuations

Botsu fell in love with this girl, the first time he saw her. But that’s not the first time he fell in love. He had been falling and falling since aeons ago. The current girl is a fresher in college and is in the same bus stop as Botsu’s. According to Botsu there is something mysterious about her; an aura of enigma surrounds her which seems to captivate the deepest recesses of his heart -- that’s what Botsu says, to be specific. So for name sake let’s call her “The Mystery girl” or “M-girl”. The problem with Botsu is that he blatantly ogles at girls and keeps on ogling even if they start noticing it. So I think it was pretty obvious for M-girl to realize that she was the cynosure of Botsu’s eyes. M-girl is in the same engineering branch as ours and Botsu has been waiting for a perfect opportunity to strike a conversation with her.

Scenario: M.G road at Statue junction on a busy Monday evening after college

The traffic signal was red and Botsu is crossing the road. He turns back and sees M-girl behind him. Botsu seems very much surprised and excited and suddenly strikes a conversation with her. The dialogues are as follows but I can almost imagine what’s going on in their minds which are given in italics.

Botsu: Hai, you know me right? I’m in your same bus stop. (Yo babe, haven’t you seen this 6 foot handsome macho man, you bet)
M-girl: Errr, haven’t noticed. (Of course I know you; you are the bloody loafer who keeps on staring at me)
Botsu: (Thud!! Slap on the face. Need to hang on) That’s ok. Well, I’m in S8 Electronics. Do you need any text books for the 1st semester??
M-girl: No, I have got them all. (I know what your intentions are, Mr. Senior)
Botsu: You might need S3 books. (Don’t give up, go on)
M-girl: I got that too. (I’m not falling for this you loafer)
Botsu: What about S4 books?? (Stay on, stay on; shouldn’t waste this golden opportunity)
M-girl: I have it. (Man, this guy is really persistent)
Botsu: S5 books?? (I can do this forever)
M-girl: Let me see, I’ll tell you. (He’s a psycho; Must get out of here as soon as possible)
Botsu: Okay, that’s perfect. (Finally!! Eureka!! Success!!)
M-girl: Ok, bye. (Phew!!)
Botsu: Bye, will see ya! (Tata, bye bye, sweet dreams, take care)

And the girl walks away. The signal turns green and Botsu is still in his dream world. The vehicles keep honking and drivers start shouting at Botsu while he hypnotically walks to the other side of the road.

P.S. Next day, Botsu was seen begging for S5 text books from his class mates. Let’s see what happens next.
